Well, my point was not so much "Life trumps Y" as
that if I'm going to edit
a public article that discusses RFID, or any library
technology, I'd rather
do it in Wikipedia, where it will have a larger and more
proficient editing
community and be more findable. I don't always agree with
Wikipedia's
editorial policy directions, but a lot of the content has a
good running
start at being at least fuzzy-accurate. I also wonder if
we're really doing
ourselves a favor by having wikis sprout like dandelions
after a spring
rain. If I edit two wikis on Saturday, and five more sprout
the next week,
should I edit those as well? (Clearly, I think not. ;> )
Did you also write about Knol? It's interesting (inevitable)
that Wikipedia
would have competitors... and that the Big G would want to
get in that
space.
